Keane Go Analog For Legendary United Record Pressing

On September 18thKeane will release Upstairs At United – Vol. 5, a special edition 4 track vinyl 12 inch. The disc was recorded in analog for Nashville based label 453 Music, a division of United Record Pressing. This special edition is available for pre-order here.

The band performed a stripped down version of four catalog songs for an exclusive “Upstairs At United” series of all-analog recordings in one take straight to tape, inside the historic United Record Pressing plant in Nashville, Tennessee.

The vinyl is presented in a Kraft-style packaging that highlights the authentic approach used in making these records. It includes session specific inserts with color photos from the recording session, and is delivered in archival quality re-sealable poly bags.
